Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 lb ground beef (or thinly sliced ribeye for a more traditional flavor)
- 8 oz pasta (penne, rotini, or elbow macaroni work well)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced (red or yellow work too)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 cup milk or heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 ½ cups shredded provolone cheese (or mozzarella)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Cook the Beef:
In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Season with salt and pepper. Remove excess grease if necessary. - Sauté the Veggies:
Add diced onions and bell peppers to the pan. Sauté until soft, about 4-5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute. - Add Liquids and Pasta:
Pour in the beef broth, milk, Worcestershire sauce, and Italian seasoning. Stir in the uncooked pasta. - Simmer:
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 12-15 minutes, or until the pasta is cooked and the liquid is mostly absorbed. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. - Add Cheese:
Once the pasta is cooked, remove from heat. Stir in shredded provolone cheese until melted and creamy. - Serve:
Garnish with fresh parsley or extra cheese, and serve hot! -
